Learn more about our research areas

The research and research projects at the Statistical Learning Laboratory (SaLLy) include both methodology and applications. We are particularly interested in high-dimensional modeling, time series analysis and forecasting, spatio-temporal modeling, sports analytics, quantitative and statistical genetics, machine learning, neural networks, artificial intelligence, and general statistical learning methodologies with application to many disciplines, including economics, finance, environment, energy, public policy, business, and industry.

SaLLy is open to establishing collaborations with other research groups locally, nationally, and internationally. Research collaboration includes data analysis support related to master's or PhD thesis and research projects, in all disciplines. Contact us at SaLLy.Laboratory@gmail.com for more information.
